EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jewel River of Bush Clovers in Omi Province," a captivating and exquisite color woodblock print created by Rekisentei Eiri around 1785, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century. This untitled masterpiece is part of a series of Six Jewel Rivers, showcasing various scenic waterways across the country. The print depicts a serene scene along the banks of the Omi Hagi no Tamagawa, or Jewel River of Bush Clovers, in Omi Province (now Shiga Prefecture). The river, teeming with vibrant green bush clover, flows gently through the landscape, creating a picturesque estuary. Two figures, a mother and her son, are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. The mother, wearing an elegant kimono in a soft pink hue, cradles her child, who gazes intently at the mouth of a rose held by his hand. The boy, dressed in a simple yet stylish outfit, wears a chokyosai eiri (a type of traditional hat) and hosoda (a type of jacket) that complement his mother's attire. The lush greenery and intricate calligraphy, which reads "Omi Hagi no Tamagawa," add depth and texture to the print, highlighting the harmony between nature and human life. The use of color, particularly the green bush clover and pink rose, adds a sense of warmth and vitality to the composition. This artwork, a testament to the artistic prowess of Rekisentei Eiri, offers a glimpse into the rich geographical and cultural heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century. The scene of motherhood and the beauty of the natural world are portrayed in a way that continues to resonate with viewers, making this print a cherished piece of Asian art.
